It could not be hard to track, say, Rhea Perlman back to Kevin Bacon , but what about you? If the age-old theory holds water, we should always all be not more than six degrees faraway from cuttin’ Footloose with Hollywood’s bygone golden boy — or anyone else for that matter. Well, Yahoo’s determined to lay any six-degree doubts to rest with its Small World Experiment, and what better strategy to accomplish that than on Facebook ? Participating users are given a “target person,” and asked to “get a message to this person in as few steps as possible.” They’re then prompted to choose a single friend to pass the message directly to, who will then be prompted to do the identical, and the like. The basis is if each subsequent recipient of the message continues to send it along, it can eventually reach its desired destination. No word yet on even if Mr. Bacon has given his blessing, but you can join on the source link to get in at the action.
